Old blades were bad so I put on new ones. The wipers never really wiped fast but were OK in lite rain. With the new blades on they are even slower almost seems like the friction of the blade on the glass is slowing them down.
Is my wiper motor going bad?? is there a adjustment that I should do? Does RainX really work? I don't drive in the rain usually but some times you just can avoid it. - Garold edit - I need to learn to spell. This post has been edited by itsa914: Apr 6 2004, 02:50 PM |

Garold,
RainX is good stuff... but it sounds like your windshield wiper rack might be getting a little dry. People report success disassembling them and lubing them up. I've never done the job myself. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

RainX does work, but you have to fiddle about on how much to apply
To little and it won't work. Too much will smudge your windscreen (and it's a bitch to get off) When applied right, it's functional for 1 or 2 weeks, then do it again I stopped using it after a short while... YMMV cheers, Jeroen |

Most new blades have a dressing that you put on....tends to give ozone/sun rot protection and lube the blades....

I swear by Rainex. If I was given a choice of driving in the rain with a fresh coat of rainex or with new wipers, I'd take the rainex every time. I get mezmerized watching the droplets of rain racing to the top of the windshield (I'm easily entertained) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
